fitting tight coupler to IC pipe help

[doridoridori]

had a question, (didn't see it via search) wanted to know has anyone fit 2.25 OD ic piping on a 2.25 ID coupler, are there any tricks that will help? can't seem to find a 2.35 or anything to give me that little bit of wiggle room to help get the pipe in the coupler, the next set up is 2.5 and that's definitely too big for what im trying to do. Any help is much appreciated

Heat it in water
Silicone spray

use an air compressor and blow it on, like the old bicycle grip trick.

a lot of people use hairspray. spray a ton of it on the pipe, and IMMEDIATELY after, slide the coupler on. once it dries, it will help keep the coupler in place, but it does make it more difficult to remove.

I don't think that's gonna help. Works great for sealing not so much for lube

Also anyone doing hairspray for sealing, the purple aquanet stuff is the best
